I think you can email docs like PDFs etc. to your Kindle's "email address". I guess Calibre can send them there too. Not tried it with Singletrack but I reckon it's possible.<br />
Another vote for the paperwhite model, although my missus is a bit disappointed with the screen having some a darker patches on it.

<p>Even with Calibre you cannot buy books directly from the Kindle from anywhere but Amazon.</p>

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:54:22 +0000molgrips4913542@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Wifi is the means of connecting to the internet. It means you have to have a wireless network nearby - your house, a coffee shop etc. 3G means you can connect to the internet anywhere. Helpful if you are on holiday, on a beach, on a train, at an airport where they charge you through the nose for wifi etc.</p>
<p>Once you're on, you can visit any website, but browsing on a kindle is not something you'd do for fun (unless it's a Kindle Fire) - too slow. You can get stuff in a pinch though which can still be useful.</p>
<p>My dad uses his kindle for browsing stuff like lottery numbers etc. Although he just got a smartphone so I don't think he'll continue doing so <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>Gotama on "Kindle users help!"http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/kindle-users-help#post-4913471

Get wifi, can't understand why anyone would want a 3G one as looking at interweb on there is pretty rubbish. Also paperwhite is well worth the extra money over the older style.

<p>Edit: though the browser's crap if it's the e-ink version, just about OK for reading email but that's about it.

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:28:43 +0000strike4913449@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>Just looking for a Kindle for my other half. IF the Kindle has Wi-Fi, does that mean it can connect to ANY internet site OR only pre-specified sites ie book downloads sites?
